Abstract excerpt
Although gallbladder carcinoma is one of the most frequent neoplasms in Chile, there is limited information about the molecular changes involved in its pathogenesis. We investigated the incidence of ras gene mutations and loss of heterozygosity (LOH) at the following genes/loci: p53, DCC, rb, 5q 3p, 8p, and 9p. We precisely microdissected 194 relevant areas from paraffin-embedded microslides from 25 gallbladder...
